EuroChem Group AG, a leading global fertilizer company, has announced the appointment of Vladimir Rashevskiy as Chief Executive Officer.

Rashevskiy recently stepped down as CEO of SUEK, which became one of the leading coal and energy companies in the world under his 15 years of leadership, reaching top positions in Russia’s electrical energy market and also becoming a key player in Russia’s transport industry.

“I’m delighted to confirm the appointment of Vladimir Rashevskiy,” said Samir Brikho, the Chairman of the Board at EuroChem. “We know Vladimir well through his management of SUEK, where he built a solid track record of success over the years. Through his efforts, the company has achieved impressive results. We are counting on his experience as EuroChem enters a new phase of development.”

Rashevskiy commented: “I’m very pleased to join EuroChem, a top global fertilizer producer, and together with the team I look forward to making a significant contribution to its continued growth.”

“We thank Petter for his contribution to EuroChem’s success and wish him all the best in his future endeavors,” added Brikho.

Rashevskiy replaces Petter Østbø in the position of CEO who had joined EuroChem in June 2019.
